combining mods - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

If one were to go through the process of installing aftermarket (3.91) gears on a bolt on L99 are there any other mods that would be suggested to incorporate while the rear is disassembled to avoid doing the same labor down the road for other mods? First question would be "well what are the future plans/goals for the car?" Frankly I'm not sure as of now.

Ideas???

I have an LS3, so I can't say L99 specific, but while I was doing work to the rear end I put in all the suspension mods I wanted at the same time. Took a little more time and planning, but I only wanted to strip the rear end once. Good luck!

exact reason why i asked, thanks. I did see (seconds after i posted) that theres a sticky thread that touched base on doing some diff bushings while the rear end was apart.

get all those bushings out of there and replaced properly. after the rear and diff bushings are replaced there isnt a reason to drop the cradle again
